Answer 1

Because they won’t stay that way. Being overweight virtually guarantees that at some point, those tests will *not* be normal which means something is wrong. Being overweight is also a huge risk factor for many things that aren’t directly testable. In other words, being overweight virtually guarantees that a person will, at some point, experience health problems they would not otherwise experience.
